**Are those who worship false Christs Christians? **

I stepped in it a bit too deeply today to post this to you on the thread, but, based on the article, how would YOU answer that question?

Are Catholics and Arminians Christians?

Are Catholics and Arminians Christians?

That was not my question. As for Catholics, I think there are Catholic Christians, but the system of doctrine is definitely not "rightly dividing the Word of Truth". I would say the same about Arminians. As one author put it, Arminians are saved, and that by a "felicitous inconsistency". The Arminian doctrines themselves, when taken to their conclusions, are not biblical, IMHO. That doesn't mean that an Arminian can't be saved, any more than it means that a Catholic can't be saved. People aren't saved by doctrine, they are saved by the True Christ, Jesus.

I did not say whether I entirely agreed with the article or not. I posted it for discussion. It amazes me how quickly people read into things what they want to see, and then go off half-cocked, and say things the article never said. Webber was a good example of that.

Would you not agree, though, that a person who worships a false Christ cannot be a Christian? The operative word here is "false"...
